so...im getting new shoes for the 93 runner! heres the thing somewhere i read a thread about 16x7 factory rims ( say from a 96 97 98 ) sometimes touch the brake caliper now im tring to find the thread but im having trouble... anyway i would like to move up to 16s i was trying to stick with factory wheels i can get 16x7 factory wheels off a newer runner for next to nothing thats why im asking otherwise id just get 15x8 or 16x7 aftermarket

does anyone have any experience with this ?

 

i run 16x7 tundra steel wheels on mine for off roading. never had any problems.

 

cool i still cant find this thread! i know i saw someone saying the rubbed the caliper or something
is the backspacing te same on the tundra as the other rims?

 

dont know, but they work on my truck.

 

I think you may be thinking of a 3rd gen 4runner, if yours came with 16's stock, and you put 15's on, then they will rub on the brakes.

 

no i have stock 15s and want to go to 16s

 

I guess it depends on the wheel,

But I had to do some trimming to the plastic center cap for them to fit over my ADD Hubs. These were Tundra wheels.



Since the trimming, the gray paint has flaked away from around the holes I trimmed. Looks kinda crappy, actually. I wish I would have kept my original Enkie wheels, but finding center caps for them proved impossible.

Plus, these Tundra wheels and BFG's were brand new take-offs, and I picked 'em up for $350. After 20K miles, no noticable wear.

 

i have new taco 16" rims no issues

 

Backspacing may be an issue depending on what size tires you are running. If you are sticking with the stock size you should have no issues.

 

im planing on running 285/75/16 if i go with the 16s if i stay with 15s ill run 31x10.5
